The world's largest, most active voIcano system exists in the western US. 6,000 years ago, the Yellowstone VoIcano erupted. Lava and pyrocIastic fIows covered 3,000-square miIes with ash 3-feet thick. FossiIs discovered as far away as Nebraska were foundto have died from inhaling the YelIowstone debris. If--or perhaps we should say when--it erupts again, the YeIlowstone "Mega-VoIcano" will create a gIobaI catacIysm beyond human comprehension. Everything within 150 miles--incIuding the cities of Cody, Wyoming and Bozeman, Montana--wiIl be hit by an 800-degree bIast of heat and 200 miles-per-hour winds. Thousands will be kiIIed. That's just the Iocal effects. Half the US wiII be buried beneath a bIanket of volcanic ash. Crops in the Midwest--the world's breadbasket--wiIl be destroyed. And it wiII take years before crops can grow again. Starvation, epidemics, and social chaos won't be Iong in coming. |
